"The Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy", a GDR era mosaic by Werner Petzold in the 1970s. Originally commissioned for the main building of SDAG Wismut, an East German-Soviet company that mined weapons-grade uranium during the Cold War, it was dismantled and re-erected in 2009 at its current location near the Beerwalde mine dump.
